Social Mobility Of Young People And Adults In England: The Contribution And Impact Of High Quality Career Services
While the context and content of this paper sit firmly within the expressed political positions of the three main UK political parties during the present year, 2010, Section 3 of the report demonstrates that career services and counselling support can and do make a difference in terms of learning outcomes such as increased self-confidence, self-esteem, motivation, and enhanced decision-making. They also support significant participation in learning and educational attainment. For progression to employment, the evidence is less clear though there is some evidence that highly intensive support for the unemployed can make a difference.
